Its time.

I've been putting off creating my Jesus blog for years. Never really knew what I'd write about. That is, until the Arabian Catholic Youth Conference last month in Dubai.

1,000 Catholic youth, an 82 year old advisor to the Pope who made those youth dance, a Bishop who proved to us the power - and permanence - of God's love, Christian music which made us yell 'YES Lord YES Lord YES YES Lord'?

Yes, I think its time I started speaking for Him.

About the title: After Jesus entered my life, I began to experience Him not just as the loving Father, but as the teenage friend who knew what I was going through, simply because at some point in His life He was 15, 16, 17 and 18 too. He also played football with his friends on the banks of the river, right? I'm sure He must have had his close little clique who would meet up once a week for a quick chai while sitting watching Nazareth's people go about their daily lives.

Yes, a younger Jesus than we've known. One who knows what being youth is.
